Brega Oil Marketing Company has attributed the ongoing fuel shortage to delays in gasoline tanker arrivals at key ports, a situation deemed beyond the control of the National Oil Corporation and Brega Oil.
In a press briefing, a spokesman for Brega Oil, Ahmed Al-Maslaty, said the company was forced to tap into its gasoline reserves and cut daily distribution volumes. This measure will continue until the anticipated tankers arrive, expected by Wednesday evening or Thursday morning.
Al-Maslaty noted that the “MT Yasha” tanker is slated to dock at Misrata port, while the “Anwar Africa” tanker will head to Tripoli, with each vessel carrying approximately 30,000 tons of gasoline.
In a related development, fuel distribution resumed in Libya’s eastern region after a tanker delivered 30,000 tons of gasoline to Benghazi’s port on Monday evening.
Meanwhile, fuel stocks at the Sabha depot remain stable, with reserves estimated at 900,000 litres, according to Al-Maslaty.
